The plot of the land stood adjacent to my little house.

Nobody ever thought about meeting me, I was all alone.

Till Jennie came along, and helped me with everything.

She made me feel loved, adored and many more.

Time: 2 in the morning
Why I'm not sleeping: Jennie's words.

I couldn't understand what she meant.

"Mine" what was the interred meaning?

I watch Jennie peacefully sleep on the couch.

It's weird, she is a ghost.

My heart beats very fast as I recall her words.

Assuming things, the thing I will not do.

I shrugged it off and finally decided to rest my eyes.

I have to look for another job tomorrow.

The sunlight extends throughout my room.

My mornings are never peaceful. I never wake up smiling.

"Lisa, you up?" Jennie's raspy voice echoes through the halls as she shouts from the living room.

"Yeah, I'm going to another job hunt today" I yawn and take the sheets off.

Silence everywhere.

Jennie usually replies with something, small words that mean a lot to me.

"You will do great!"
"Good luck!"
"Be careful!"
"Do not get intimidated!"

I Cleared my throat to gain attention from Jennie.

After a few seconds her little head pops up, her fingers tingling.

"Don't...go" her eyes meeting the ground, she says.

"Why? We're out of money" I get up and walk over to her.

"I'll h-hunt someone j-just don't...leave me" I let out a chuckle.

"What's wrong with you? I do this every week. This is really abrupt" I raise an eyebrow and make my way over to the bathroom.

"Can't you just do something at home...like something online..you know maybe upload videos on YouTube?" She follows me.

I shake my head as I spit the toothpaste.

"It's not easy" She sighs and holds my arm, gripping it super tight.

"No means no Lisa!" She loudly protests.

I freeze on the spot and shake her hand off.

"Jennie, what's wrong?" Her eyes start tearing up, her legs start shaking.

"I only....come....alive....when..

.... we're together"
